Introduction[edit | edit source]
The Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP) tool is a generic patient specific outcome tool to assess general health[1]. It can be used for musculo-skeletal or respiratory conditions and gives an individualized approach and measure regarding the symptoms and activities that are effected by the symptoms[2].
The second version of the MYMOP also asks the patient about analgesia including the doses which in the first version was not included.
Description[edit | edit source]
The MYMOP tool is completed in the initial consultation. One or two symptoms are listed which are effected by the patient's condition such as "right leg weakness", this is then rated by the patient on a scale 0-6. This rating scale should be done by the patient and not influenced by the practitioner.[3]
The patient would then choose an activity that has been effected by the symptom, and again rate the activity on a scale of 0-6.
The patient also rates their well-being on the same scale.
On the initial MYMOP2 it also asks for medication usage and the patient's opinion on taking medication.
On follow up a similar MYMOP2 is completed with the same 0-6 scale but giving the option to add a third symptom and less detail regarding medication. The follow up MYMOP2 can be done mid-way through treatment as well as on discharge to give a measure of progress for both patient and practitioner.
Advantages[edit | edit source]
- Patient centered[3]
- The MYMOP has been shown to be effective at measuring clinical effectiveness associated with acupuncture treatments which are typically difficult to prove clinical improvement. [4]
- Simple to administer[4]
Disadvantages[edit | edit source]
The initial version was criticized due to it not including information regarding medication used for the condition, this has been added in the second version of the MYMOP2 (which is pictured above).[6] It does require some therapist involvement on the initial questionnaire so is not suitable for postal use.
It also requires patients to list the "most severe" problems so in patients with multiple issues it can be difficult for them to identify the most severe problem.
